Starting January 1, 2014 a
federal mandate goes into
effect stating Americans who
can afford healthcare
coverage will be required to
purchase insurance by March
31, 2014 or face a tax penalty.
Insurers will not be able to
deny coverage because of preexisting conditions. Insurers
will not be able to charge more
based on gender or more than
they’d charge a healthy person
of the same age.
To help facilitate these
changes, online marketplaces
called “exchanges” will open
October 1, 2013 which will
allow individuals, families, and
small business owners shop
for health insurance online.

Individual and small business health insurance
plans must include a minimum level of coverage.
These essential benefits include: emergency
services, hospitalizations, laboratory services,
maternity care, mental health and substance abuse
treatment, outpatient care, pediatric care,
prescription drugs, preventive care, and
rehabilitative services, as well as vision and dental
care for children.
States can choose to expand their Medicaid
programs. The expansion is intended to help insure
an additional 16 million low-income Americans.
States that opt in will receive federal funding to
cover 100% of the expanded Medicaid costs for
three years and then 90% thereafter.
